8. SPECIFICATIONS

The Wind Turbine has been designed with your safety in mind. However,

there are inherent dangers involved with any electrical and/or mechanical

equipment. Safety must be your primary concern as you plan the location,

installation and operation of the turbine. At all times be aware of electrical,

mechanical and rotor blade hazards.

1.1 MECHANICAL HAZARD

Rotating blades present the most serious hazard. The rotor blades are made of very

strong thermoplastic. At the tip, the blades may be moving at velocities over 275 miles

per hour (440 km/hr). At this speed, the tip of a blade is nearly invisible and can cause

serious injury. Under no circumstances should you install the turbine where a person

could come in contact with moving rotor blades. DO NOT INSTALL THE TURBINE

WHERE ANYONE CAN APPROACH THE PATH OF THE BLADES.

1.2 ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

*Observe all manufacturers' safety procedures when working around batteries and

other electrical equipment.

The Wind Turbine is equipped with sophisticated electronics designed to

provide protection from high surge electrical dangers. The internal electronics of the

Wind Turbine prevents open circuit voltages from rising above 20 volts for

12-volt systems. Please note that the inherent personal dangers from electrical

current still exist, therefore caution should always be used when connecting this

and other electrical devices.

Heat in wiring systems is often a result of too much current flowing through an

undersized wire or through a bad connection.

Batteries can deliver a dangerous amount of current. If a short occurs in the wiring

from the batteries, a fire can result. In order to avoid this threat, a properly sized fuse

or circuit breaker is required in the lines connecting to the battery.

1.3 INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS:

Installation procedures should be performed at ground level.

Make sure that all batteries are disconnected throughout the installation process.

Never install the ShootPower Wind Turbine upside down.

Choose a day when the wind is calm.

1. PRECAUTIONS

Connect the 3 wires coming from the Wind Turbine to the AC Input terminal on

the Charge Controller in any order. Connect additional wires to the DC Output

terminals on the Charge Controller (Black = Negative (-) Red = positive (+))

ensuring they do not come into contact with each other

1.4 OPERATION PRECAUTIONS

Check support structures, blades, and electrical systems regularly. The rotor blades

are very strong; however, if they come in contact with a solid object, they can break.

When performing periodic inspections, or if you must approach the path of the blades,

disconnect the power leads from the battery and tie the wind turbine output leads

together to stop /slow down the blades from rotating.

Note: There is a short break-in period with new wind turbines. The bearings in both the

turbine yaw and the turbine rotor will require approximately 60-100 hours of operation

in normal wind speeds (approximately 18 – 20 mph, 8 – 9 m/s) before they are running

at peak efficiency. During this break-in period, the turbine operation might appear

sluggish.

all procedures before beginning installation. NOTE: Do not install the blade/hub

until the turbine is mounted on the tower

SHOOTPOWER

4mm hex key wrench (included)

5mm hex key wrench (included)

8mm hex key wrench (included)

Power cables (not included):

#12 AWG (American Wire Gage) stranded.

Batteries (not included)

Steel Pipe: 1 1/2", Schedule 40 steel pipe (Actual OD 1.875 inches, 48mm) (not

included)

Torque wrench with 4mm, 5mm, and 8mm hex drives (not included)

Soldering iron or propane torch (not included)

Rosin core solder (not included)

Electrical tape or 1/4” (6-7mm) heat shrink (not included)

Wire strippers (not included)

Wire crimpers (not included)

NOTE: Do not connect to the battery.

Precheck

Spin rotor shaft slowly with your fingers

while at the same time connecting and

disconnecting the DC OUTPUT's positive

and negative wires. With the wires

connected, the rotor shaft should become

more difficult to rotate. With the wires

disconnected, it should spin freely.

Every time connect the DC

OUTPUT's wires (RED= Positive,

BLACK = Negative)

directly to the set of posts of the

battery, the controller LED will

lighten to indicate that the

controller is running properly.

4. LOCATION SELECTION

To ensure good performance from the Wind Generator, it is important that

care is taken in the site of the machine. Buildings, trees and rocky outcrops

etc. disrupt the smooth flow of wind creating a “Wind Shear” with the wind

velocity nearer the ground being slower than that higher up. Turbulence is

also created by these obstructions. Turbulence is detrimental as the swirling

air causes the Wind Generator to yaw continually thus stressing the mechanical

parts and greatly increasing wear and tear.

Turbulent airflow

Turbulent airflow created by obstructions (Ad. P. Gipe, 93)

Therefore, as a general rule the Wind Generator should be mounted twice

as high as any such obstructions. The power obtained from the wind is

proportional the cube of the wind speed, and the wind speed increases with

height from the ground. A 26% increase in wind speed from a higher tower

will yield a 100% increase in power from the wind generator. A little more

money spent on a higher tower will harvest the same power as 2 machines!

Preference should be given to the prevailing wind direction, but it should be

noted that tall features behind the Wind Generator can also slow down the

wind flow through the Wind Generator.

The Wind Generator should be mounted on a tower a minimum of 25'

(8 meters) above any surrounding objects within a 500' (150m) radius.

If this is not possible, then place it as high as you can. If this is a roof

top installation, it is important there are no objects around the structure

that may block the wind.

5. TOWER

Great care should be taken in the selection and preparation of the wind

generator's tower, as this is the most difficult and crucial aspect of the

entire installation. If you select a tower from another source or build your

own, you are responsible for assuring the tower is suitable. As with all

towers, you must first evaluate your site to determine the appropriate

tower height, available space and reasonable cost.

Usually, the higher tower is erected, the greater the output, but also the

greater cost and effort of the installation. If purchasing a taller tower will

provide significantly more power it might offset the additional cost and

effort. It's very important to mount the wind generator in the best winds

while being balanced by the cost and effort of the installation.

This Wind Generator is designed to use steel pipe 1.875 inch (48mm)

outside diameter, equivalent to 1 ½ inch SCH 40 pipe, which can be used

in some tower applications. If larger pipe is used for your tower, make

sure that the 1.875 inch pipe is at least 22 inch long or will damage the

blades. Refer to SPHERE OF OPERATION (Minimum Safe Pole Length

Above Obstructions).

CAUTION: SAFETY, ENGINEERING AND LOCAL CODES MUST BE

ADDRESSED BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY INSTALLATION.

NOTE: The yaw wires can support loads up to a total of 155 lbs. (70kg).

If the wire weight is higher, you must install a strain relief to minimize

the stress put on the hanging wires.

NOTE: Towers must be capable of withstanding 155 lb. (70kg) of load

in the horizontal direction at the Wind Generator.

The following list considerations must be consulted:

Number of Wind Generators

Budget

Type: guyed, freestanding or rooftop

Site: hills, trees, buildings

Ease of use

Note: Guyed And Freestanding Towers Are The Most Common Way To Install A

Wind Generator. These Towers Are Available In All Shapes, Sizes And Costs.

Caution: Do Not Install The Wind Generator Where The Path Of The

Blades Can Be Reached During Normal Operation! Never Approach

The Wind Generator During Operation!
